"Martin Scorsese's "Cape Fear" is a work of rippling cinematic muscle. It's a brutal, demonic film with a grip like a vise; it grabs you early, its fingers around your throat, and never lets go. No one can give evil a more voluptuous surface than Scorsese; he's a dread master, and with this film he's delivered a ravishing thesis on the anatomy of terror."

"Documentary about the nearly forgotten story of the "Federal Writers Project", a progressive facet of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Through the 1930s and the 1940s, the Writers Project sought to chronicle the story of America itself, including the corners of the social map that weren't often spotlighted in other histories. Roosevelt intended to preserve all the skills and talent of the downtrodden American citizenry through his "Works Project Administration". Invigorating the people and putting them to work would bolster morale and put his country back on its feet. Unemployed writers hired as part of the "Federal Writer's Project" were faced with the daunting task of traveling across the country and gathering information that would fill guidebooks for each of the 48 states. The project turned controversial, however, when authors hired to detail America's strengths put equal effort into detailing the devastation that had washed across the land."

Brown joined the Sea Shepard Society in 1982 and now, 30 years later, he has put together highlights from the group’s history of “aggressive non-violence.” What the Society does is take direct action to stop those who maim and murder helpless and voiceless marine creatures. Paul Watson, a Canadian proponent of biocentrism, started out at Greenpeace but left when he tired of what he perceived as the organization’s ineffectualness. He convinced the head of the British Fund for Animals to pay for his first ship, the Sea Shepherd, in 1978 and began hunting illegal hunters.

Documentary features extraordinary, virtually unseen footage from the days of the black power movement during the turbulent civil rights era. Throughout the film, the Swedish director uses voice-overs from noted activists and artists such as Kathleen Cleaver, Harry Belafonte and Angela Davis.

Ever since this convoluted thriller dazzled audiences and critics in 1995 and won an Oscar for Christopher McQuarrie's twisting screenplay. Kevin Spacey's in a band of thieves that includes Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Pollak, and Benicio Del Toro, all gathered in a plot to steal a large shipment of cocaine. The story is told in flashback as a twisted plot being described by Spacey's character to an investigating detective (Chazz Palmintieri), and The Usual Suspects is enjoyable for the way it keeps the viewer guessing right up to its surprise ending. Kevin Spacey won a best supporting actor Oscar.

"Robert Siodmak was one of the most influential stylists of the 40s, helping to create in films, the characteristic look of American film noir. Criss Cross is an archly noir story replete with triple and quadruple crosses, leading up to one of the most shockingly cynical endings in the whole genre. Siodmak keeps the suspense at a feverish pitch, and the characterizations are well drawn out."

«It’s the early 1980s. In American colleges, the wised-up kids are inhaling Derrida and listening to Talking Heads. But Madeleine Hanna, dutiful English major, is writing her senior thesis on Jane Austen and George Eliot, purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart of the greatest English novels. As Madeleine studies the age-old motivations of the human heart, real life, in the form of two very different guys, intervenes. A stunning novel—erudite, compassionate and penetrating in its analysis of love relationships... Eugenides continues to show that he is one of the finest of contemporary novelists.»

«The result of 10 year's living and travelling throughout the Indian subcontinent, The Age of Kali emerges from Dalrymple's uneasy sense that the region is slipping into the most fearsome of all epochs in ancient Hindu cosmology: "the Kali Yug, the Age of Kali, the lowest possible throw, an epoch of strife, corruption, darkness and disintegration". The brilliance of this book lies in its refusal to slip into the cultural pessimism of books such as V.S. Naipaul's Beyond Belief. Dalrymple's love for the subcontinent, and his feel for its diverse cultural identity, comes across in every page, which makes its chronicles of political corruption, ethnic violence and social disintegration all the more poignant. The scope of the book is particularly impressive, from the vivid opening chapters portraying the lawless caste violence of Bihar, to interviews with the drug barons on the North-West Frontier, and Dalrymple's extraordinary encounter with the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. Some of the most fascinating sections of the book are Dalrymple's interviews with Imran Khan and Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan. The Age of Kali is a dark, disturbing book which takes the pulse of a continent facing some tough questions.»
